The premiere met with great acclaim.

I wish all a documentary. It is a burning flame, my friends could share my joy!” an entrancing narration that presents the less famous part of the life and art of a musical genius On the occasion of the coronation of Leopold II who raved on a stage in Prague: the opera La clemenza di Tito was premiered in Prague. “My Praguers understand me!” Prague was the only city that gave the deceased Mozart a worthy farewell. The bells in Prague were chiming for half an hour, twelve students with torches stood an honorary guard by the symbolic catafalque in the Church of St Nicolas. Over four thousand Prague citizens came to honour the memory of Mozart. A hundred and twenty singers and joined theatre orchestras performed the majestic Requiem. Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay The camera slowly moves over a shining candlestick and on the white and golden piano it reveals a folded letter. A hand breaks the seal. A beautiful lady holds the letter in the flame of the candle: the flame devours the page. Behind the ladies dreamy gaze memories start drifting… It started sprightly… Despite the freeze music and singing was heard from afar. Muffled up in sheepskin blankets and warmed up with wine Mozart and his Constance whooped in a carriage. They passed the time making up nicknames. Across Charles Bridge over the Vltava River the carriage headed towards the Castle and the palaces of nobility. Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay Amadeus had heard about Prague before – that it was a musicopolis, a city of music, the conservatory of Europe. He made friends with tens of musicians that came from Prague. Now he was able to get to know Prague himself. He wrote an enthusiastic letter to Vienna about his acceptance in Prague: “I neither danced nor flirted. The first, because I was too tired – the latter out of my inborn silliness. I watched with pleasure, though, how everybody hopped to the music of my Figaro. People here talk of nothing else but Figaro, nothing else is played, trumpeted, sung and whistled but Figaro, no other opera is frequented but Figaro!” The Nostitz Theatre was built to serve “Patriae et Musis” – the country and the muses. Mozart was especially interested in the high quality of the singers and orchestra. Mozart had always been concerned about clothing - this time he primped himself for the premiere with special care. Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay The theatre impresario offered him an advance if he composed a new opera for Prague. Mozart accepted. Mozart was stricken by the news from Salzburg that his father Leopold was dying. His father Leopold died without seeing Mozart. On the same day his favourite starling died. The funeral he held for him was in fact a ceremony in memory of his father. In the morning Mozart threw mandarins in the opposite window to wake up the librettist. Da Ponte left; reputedly he was summoned to Vienna… The dashed Mozart disappeared and the rehearsal was cancelled! Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay Josepha Duschek turned Bertramka into a lavish manor house, renowned for its hospitality and good music. On the eve of the postponed premiere he invited the whole ensemble there! The ladies and gentlemen eagerly plunged into exuberant revelry. He has not yet written a single note of the overture! In a few hours the 292 legendary bars were written. Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay Yesterday my opera Don Giovanni was performed for the first time and with great success. I wish all my friends could witness my joy. Everyone here tries to persuade me to stay for several more months and to write another opera... Before Amadeus left for Vienna again, I had cakes and coffee served in the pavilion… The moment he entered I locked the door from the outside and said: “I shall not let you out until you have composed the promised aria for me!” When Joseph died the throne was reluctantly taken over by Leopold. In order to calm down the Czechs, he agreed to his coronation in Prague. Such occasion, however, demanded an opera. The time-proven Mozart was addressed and a time-proven libretto La clemenza di Tito chosen. Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay Mozart wasn´t mentioned in the list of guests at the court. I had to intercede for him. In the meantime His Majesty arrived to Prague with fanfares and his Court: 105 carriages rattled on the royal road across the Old Town Square to the bridge and by the Church of St Nicolas up to the Castle. The coronation, however, was accessible to attested representation only. Josepha, who sang the solemn mass, smuggled Mozart to the side choir loft through a side entrance... We were going back through dark night… At the statue of the crucified Amadeus had the carriage stopped. Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Excerpts from Screenplay The failure of the opera was appeared in the “Coronation Journal”. On the third page it says that an opera was also performed. Their Majesties were most enchanted by the new chandeliers. Not a word about music. Neither the name of the opera nor its author is mentioned. A sorrowful part of the aria “Bella mia fiamma, addio…” changes into the monumental Requiem. Prague said farewell to Mozart by a commendation held in the Church of St Nicolas. Prague bells were chiming for half an hour. Twelve students stood honorary guard at the symbolic catafalque. Mozart, Prague and Love Adieu Mozart Historical Background In the beginning of 1787 Mozart was invited to Prague to conduct the Marriage of Figaro. As thanks he gave a concert of his new Symphony in D major K. 504 “Prague“. It was proved that his music enchanted not only parlours of the nobility but the whole city. At the end of his stay he received an order to compose a new opera for Prague. The subject was up to him. He chose Don Giovanni. At that time Prague was for Mozart an oasis of artistic understanding and friendship. In October 1787 Mozart came to Prague with his librettist da Ponte. They stayed at Bertramka, the summerhouse of the singer Josepha Duschek. It was there where Mozart composed the famous overture the last night before the premiere. The Opera of Operas, conducted by Mozart himself on 29th October 1787, was attended by all the local elite. Don Giovanni meant an absolute triumph. Mozart’s words: “My orchestra is in Prague“ testifies to the mutual warm relation among him and Czech musicians. His stays at Bertramka were the most beautiful moments in Mozart’s short life. Prague was always described as Mozart’s secret city. Before he left Prague he composed the concert aria “Bella mia fiamma, addio“ for Josepha Duschek. The last Mozart’s trip to Prague happened under different circumstances. In the summer of 1791, when he was working on the Magic Flute and the Requiem, he received a hasty order to compose a coronation opera for Prague. La clemenza di Tito was premiered on 6th September 1791. Upon his return to Vienna, seven weeks before his death, Mozart finished his only Clarinet Concerto in A major, K. 622, which he wrote for his Prague friend, an excellent clarinettist Anton Stadler. The premiere took place in Prague on 16th October 1791. Mozart died shortly after that on 5th December 1791 and Prague remembered him by a mass by Rössler- Rosetti, performed among others by Josepha Duschek. It was held in the Church of St Nicolas at Little Quarter and attended by four thousand of Pragers. Mozart, Prague and Love © BVA International Ltd. Mečislavova 7, 140 00 Prague 4 Obecní dům, a.s.

  • Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Geb. Salzburg, 27. January 1756 - Gest
    Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (geb. Salzburg, 27. January 1756 - gest. Vienna, 5 December 1791) Arien, Duette, Terzette und Quartette mit Begleitung des Orchesters Band 2 Als Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart im Jahre 1777 Mannheim besuchte, verliebte er sich in die Sopranistin Aloysia Weber. Welche Liebesaffäre auch immer sie gehabt haben mochten, sie brach entzwei, und der Komponist heiratete schliesslich deren Schwester Constanze. Trotz ihrer Differenzen schrieb Mozart einige Stücke für Aloysia. 1783 präsentierte er sie mit dem Rondo Ah non sai qual pena sia il doverti (K416), das gedacht war, in Pasquale Anfossis Oper Zemira verwendet zu werden. Als sie ein zweites Mal in einer Anfossi - Oper auftrat, nämlich Il curioso indiscreto, gab ihr Mozart wiederum zwei neue Stücke zu singen: Vorrei spiegarvi (K418), das grosse Tonsprünge von mehr als einer Oktave enthielt, und No, no, che non sei (K419), das der Musik für die Königin der Nacht in seiner Zauberflöte ähnelt. Schenkt man zeitgenössischen Berichten Glauben, so hielt Mozart Anfossis Oper für misslungen - ausser der Musik, die er selbst dazu beitrug. Einige Jahre später schrieb er eine weitere Arie für Aloysia, Ah sei in ciel benigne stelle (K538), zu einem Text aus Pietro Metastasios opera L'eroe Cinese. Nancy Storace war die englische Sopranistin italienischer Herkunft, die die Rolle der Susanna in Die Hochzeit des Figaro schuf. Höchstwahrscheinlich verfügte sie über einen enormen Tonumfang mit starken Tönen in der Höhe und Tiefe, denn genau das war es, was die Rolle erforderte. Nehme hier und da einige Schnitte vor, so ist sie so lang wie die von Wagners Isolde. So musste Storace auch über eine beachtliche Kondition verfügen.

  • CHARLOTTE MARGIONO, Soprano
    CHARLOTTE MARGIONO, soprano Her Fiordiligi in Jürgen Flimm’s production of Cosi fan tutte with Nikolaus Harnoncourt conducting the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, January 1990 in Amsterdam, put Charlotte Margiono without any doubt at the international top of Mozart sopranos. After her first Nozze di Figaro in Bern in January 1988 many Contessas were to follow in numerous new productions (Hamburg 1990/94, Aix-en-Provence 1991, Bordeaux 1995, Amsterdam 1993 and Dresden 1995, Vienna and, with the Wiener Staatsoper, in Japan 1994). Her Mozart roles include Vitellia in La Clemenza di Tito (Aix 1988, Salzburg 1991), Erste Dame in Die Zauberflöte (Amsterdam 1988, Aix 1989), Pamina in Die Zauberflöte (Bordeaux 1992), Aminda in La Finta Giardiniera (Parijs 1991) and, her favourite, Donna Elvira in Don Giovanni (with John Eliot Gardiner in Parma, Amsterdam, London, Ludwigsburg 1994). In addition to these Mozart-roles Charlotte Margiono is gradually building a wide lyrical repertoire: Marie in Die Verkaufte Braut, Mimi in La Bohème, Agathe in Der Freischütz (role debut in Hamburg 1999), Desdemona in Otello (role debut in Paris and Amsterdam, 1994), Rusalka (role debut in the Netherlands 1998), Marguerite in a concert performance of La Damnation de Faust to close the Bernard Haitink Festival in the Amsterdam Concertgebouw (1999), and Eva in Meistersinger (role debut in Amsterdam 2000). Future engagements for new roles include Leonore in Fidelio (Sir Simon Rattle, Glyndebourne 2001), Elsa in Lohengrin (Amsterdam 2002), Chrysothemis in Elektra (Brussel 2002). 3 Conductors with whom Charlotte Margiono is frequently singing are a.o. Claudio Abbado, Gerd Albrecht, Gary Bertini, Frans Brüggen, Sir Colin Davis, John Eliot Gardiner, Valery Gergiev, Carlo Maria Giulini, Hartmut Haenchen, Bernard Haitink, Nikolaus Harnoncourt, Armin Jordan, James Judd, Alain Lombard, Ingo Metzmacher, Antonio Pappano, Wolfgang Sawallisch, Marc Soustrot, Edo de Waart en Franz Welser-Möst.

  • Migrating Mozart, Or Life As a Substitute Aria in the Eighteenth Century
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Hochschulschriftenserver - Universität Frankfurt am Main Migrating Mozart, or Life as a Substitute Aria in the Eighteenth Century ISABELLE EMERSON Hikers, especially in difficult terrain, spend a lot of time looking down at the trail where, among the frequent sights, are deposits by various animals. These droppings, or scat, are packed with information about the local fauna. But they are also a significant factor in the distribution of flora, as animals and birds eat in one location and eliminate in another—a process of dissemination botanists term seed dispersal. The practice in the eighteenth century, of carrying one’s favorite arias around from opera to opera, strikes me as quite similar to this paradigm in nature: the singer ingests the aria in one location, and emits it in another. The result is significantly similar: the dispersal of the material over the geographical range of the carrier. * There has been a tendency to regard the substitute aria as not very welcome baggage, and to assess this practice and its near relative, the pastiche, as not quite respectable. I suggest that we look at the practice, not as detracting from the merits of its host work, but as a means of distribution of music. In the case of Mozart’s presence in London, this may be of some importance since none of his operas was staged in that city until 1806 (La clemenza di Tito)—fifteen years after his death. By that time, however, quite a bit of his operatic music, and many of his instrumental works, had been heard in London.
